Overview

Inbound Settings, titled Marketing connections on the page, is where you connect Google Analytics, Search Console, the public website URL, Google Ads, OpenAI advertising management, and OpenAI Ads measurement so the inbound marketing agents can start working. Clients manage their own account here; SalesHive staff choose a client first. If an agent is missing access, it points you back to this page.

How to use this page

  1. Choose the account

    Client users see their own account, and the Connections card notes that values are saved to your account only. Employees choose the client from the client switcher first; every connection is then saved only for that client.

  2. Grant Analytics and Search Console access

    Select the service account email under Grant access to our agents to copy it. Add it as an Editor in Google Analytics (Admin, Property Access Management) and as a Full user in Search Console (Settings, Users and permissions). No password is shared and ownership does not move. If the email is not shown, clients should ask their SalesHive team for it.

  3. Save GA4, Search Console, and website settings

    Enter the numeric GA4 Property ID, the Search Console domain or URL-prefix property, and the public Website URL. Select Save connections. The website URL also supports page-speed work and SEMrush research.

  4. Connect Google Ads

    Enter the 10-digit Google Ads customer ID and, only when access runs through an MCC, the Manager account ID. Select Connect Google Ads and complete Google authorization. If the button is unavailable, Google Ads connections are not ready yet; clients see a note that their SalesHive team will let them know when they can connect.

  5. Connect OpenAI advertising management

    In OpenAI advertising management, enter the Advertising account ID and its Management API key, then select Connect account. Once connected, the card shows Connected with the account name and ID. To change it, paste a key and select Reconnect account. This lets you review campaigns and approve changes.

  6. Save OpenAI Ads measurement

    In OpenAI advertising, enter the Pixel ID and the Conversions API key, then select Save OpenAI Ads. The card then shows Measurement connected. A saved key is never shown again; paste a new key only to replace it. This key is separate from the management key.

  7. Review SEMrush readiness

    SEMrush is SalesHive's SEO research suite, so no SEMrush login is needed. Save the public Website URL, then the SEO Expert can run domain reports. Social accounts are connected separately on the Social page.
